bippy bj Posted November 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2007 We are sailing on the Island on Dec 4. On the summary page it said we were to recieve Samsonite luggage value $365 on Dec 4. My hubby thought this was a joke. He says who needs more luggage after you are already aboard? Anyone recieve this? What is it?

dobiemom Posted November 15, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Has anyone received the luggage? Onboard or was it shipped to your home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottoCruise Posted November 15, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I flew to Conn. this weekend.. In the Security Line I noticed a family with the above luggage (which is what Princess Promo is oferring)..........the luggage looked REALLY nice.........now I am excited that some in my family Alaska Cruise will be getting this. I was told it would be shipped to your home 30 days before your cruise - my cruise is in Aug. so I suppose Princess will have it figured out by then - those that have this Promo and are sailing earlier - Princess said they were "behind" and wouldn't start shipping until end of Nov. ???? I too am anxious to hear what thoughts are when they receive their luggage.............. I guess we'll just have to 'stay tuned'. :) Renee (aka GotToCruise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawnprincess Posted November 28, 2007 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi Gotocruise -- Was it more than one piece of luggage? Like a set? Curious because I'm a TA and have 2 friends sailing on a cruise so only 1 person gets the luggage and I'm hoping more than 1 piece so they can divvy them up? Thanks!

noblepa Posted November 28, 2007 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I've read others writing about a Princess promotion, involving a $100 OBC and some luggage. Is that what we're talking about? When I booked our Mar. cruise on Dawn Princess, my wife said she thought we had some sort of credit on Princess. I said no, because we had never sailed on Princess before. We have sailed on Carnival and Holland America. However, when I looked at my cruise personalizer, it shows a $100 OBC, listed as "Promotional". So, I guess my wife was right. I do remember getting a flyer from Princess months ago, but I dismissed it because I didn't book from the flyer. So, should I expect to get some luggage from Princess after I make final payment?

Curious because I'm a TA and have 2 friends sailing on a cruise so only 1 person gets the luggage and I'm hoping more than 1 piece so they can divvy them up? Thanks! Sorry - Princess told me only (1) pc. of luggage per cabin..............:( I had to switch (4) girl cousins around as (2) with the luggage promo were in the same cabin - Now, after the switch, each one that got the offer will get (1) pc. of the luggage as they are each now booked with (1) cousin that did NOT get the offer.......:) (they will change cabins back after they board) :p We also have (1) male cousin going single - so he's alright with the (1) pc. of luggage Promo for his cabin!:rolleyes: Noblepa - I think you should call Princess or your TA and have your "Promotional" credit assigned to your March sailing and it should show up that way on your Circle Savings acct. or you may never see it ! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted November 29, 2007 #9 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I am not certain how long this promo goes and if indeed it will be applied to all cruises and passengers. As for how many pieces, I have been told it is a set, not just one piece. I guess we will have to wait and hear from someone who has recieved it. I also was told 2 stories about arrival: 1-it would arrive prior to sailing and 2-it would be in our cabin the first night. Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaye from Chicagoland Posted November 29, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I was told, after just booking on the Ruby Princess for 2/09, that it was one peice of Samsonite luggage and it would arrive before the cruise. She didn't know exactly when, but indicated she thought at least two weeks prior. Couldn't tell me the size - just that it 8" deep (sounds like a carry-on?) - said was worth about $365. This was through a Princess rep. Will probably transfer the booking later on since the cruise is so far out. Kaye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaye Interesting, I was planning on getting DH luggage for Christmas, now I am not certain what to do. It is hard to believe one piece of luggage, regardless of the brand could have a value of $365. I just hope someone comes on soon that has recieved it. Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeansMommy Posted November 29, 2007 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2007 The luggage promo was part of my package, I did not receive it prior to cruise, I received a letter from Princess stating it would arrive after the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlene19 Posted November 29, 2007 #13 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I just called Princess regarding something else and then asked about any promotions since we booked our cruise a couple of months ago, but haven't heard if we qualified for any promotions. She said we would receive Samsonite luggage, same thing, it's 1 piece for the 2 of us and was valued at over $300, so im thinking the same thing, what piece of luggage could be worth that much???

I think it is not really worth $300 plus, what do you think? maybe it is time to get new luggage and forget about this great deal? Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaandam_2 Posted November 29, 2007 #15 Share Posted November 29, 2007 the $365 value is the full retail price. nobody pays retail. LOL. i see 50% off sales on samsonite all the time. i like the brand, and own a couple pieces of it. it has lasted very well. i plan on selling my free luggage on ebay or craigslist. i do not need any more.

Rare JoePDX Posted November 29, 2007 #18 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Although I haven't received mine yet, another post indicated it was a 24" Outline 8 suitcase. The Samsonite site doesn't list a 24" in this line, but does have a 25" - compare at price $370. If I remember right from the flyer I received from Princess it is blue. http://www.samsonitecompanystores.com/webapp/scs/servlet/SItemDisplay?productId=250644&storeId=10151&langId=-1&keyword=outline&pc= Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
